It took a few moments until Logan finally picked up the call. Hearing the noise in the background, Sophia held back what she was planning to say and asked, “Where are you, Logan? Are you playing poker in your clubhouse or something?”
Logan answered, “Oh, no, no. I’m away at the moment. Are you coming over right now?”
Chuckling, she made a guess about his whereabouts. “Are you now at the gym?”
“Ugh…” Logan sounded panicky upon hearing her question, which indirectly confirmed Sophia’s suspicion. Soon, she smacked her lips and said, “I knew you’d be there. Tell me. Are you there to ask for trouble or help out?”
Logan paused, whereupon he tried to brush the question off by replying in a softer tone, “Neither. I’m here because I have some serious business to discuss with that woman.”
Sophia curiously asked, “Oh, what kind of serious business do you have with Miss Lola? Could you perhaps enlighten me?”
Sniggering upon hearing her sarcastic query, he questioned his friend, “Come on! Can’t you have a little faith in me? I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t need her help. Darn it! I…” Before Logan could continue his words, Sophia heard a woman’s voice in the background. “Logan? What the heck brings you here again?” Needless to say, Logan didn’t go on to finish his sentence.
Upon hearing that, Sophia chuckled despite knowing that it wasn’t a good time to do this. “It seems that your kryptonite is here.”
Logan whispered, “Come on... She is not even qualified to earn that title.” After listening to his soft reply, Sophia mischievously dared her friend to say that out louder deep down.
As soon as Logan finished his words, Lola’s voice was heard again. “Stop wasting my time, Logan! State the purpose of your visit and get out of my face!” Thinking that Sophia might have heard that, Logan couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Therefore, Logan was driven by his pride and raised his voice. “I’m telling you, b*tch! You’d better stop giving me an attitude, or I… Ouch! Ouch! Stop acting so violently! What a shameless brute! Can’t you talk like a civilized person?! You… Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!”
Nevertheless, Sophia didn’t hang up the call but instead continued to listen to what was happening on the other side. In that instant, she felt her mood lifted without even herself knowing why.
In the meantime, Lola managed to subdue Logan with a shoulder lock behind his back as he began to feel numb in his right shoulder. Soon, the man instinctively groped Lola’s shoulder with his left hand, only to recall her previous injury. Her injury needs several months to recover, which means her joint is probably still hurt. At the thought of that, Logan reluctantly let go of his hand.
Although Logan went easy on her, Lola didn’t hold back her strength, locking his shoulder with a powerful grip while forcing him into submission. She then went on, saying, “I’m grateful for your help the last time, but you’re seriously pushing your luck. I’ve warned you to stay away from my gym. You’re not welcome here at all, so get lost!”
Losing his temper, Logan angrily talked back. “Let go of me, you b*tch! I’m not going to stoop to your level, so don’t make me hurt you! Moreover, I’m here for some serious business. Thus, you’d better let go of me!” After saying that, he caught a glimpse of his phone with a frustrated look on his face, trying to reach it with his left hand. Despite his frustration, he tried to answer Sophia with a calm voice, “I’m a little busy right now, Sophia. So, let’s talk again later. This b*tch…”
